PUBLIC CORRUPTION - 2001 ADDENDUM

Bartz, Fred, et al. "Embezzlement: A Real Cause for Concern." Public Management (October 2000): pp. 6-10.Notes: (Available fulltext on Wilsonweb)Abstract: Although technology can be the tool of modern embezzlers, other tools and procedures need to be dealt with before focusing on the technology-related issues. While localities can profess to follow standards developed by the Government Finance Officers Association and the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, many lack tight controls, which makes them subject to embezzlement and fraud.

Comer, Michael J. Corporate Fraud. Brookfield, VT: Gower, 1998.Call Number: HV 6768.C65 1998Abstract: Although their intricate workings are limited only by human imagination, frauds nonetheless fall into clearly identifiable categories, usually with predictable profiles. There are few new frauds, merely old ones given new leases of life by particular embellishments and the continuing gullibility of victims. Fraud succeeds because the perpetrators know the facts of the situation and the victims do not. This book introduces a framework and some important theories through which the mechanics of fraud can be understood.

Dattu, Riyaz, et al. "A Proactive Step Against Bribery and Corruption." Ivey Business Journal (September/October 2000): pp. 72-74.Notes: (Available fulltext on Wilsonweb)Abstract: On December 17, 1997, the 29 member nations of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and five other countries signed the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions. In accordance with Canada's obligations under the Convention, Parliament introduced the Corruption of Foreign Officials Act (CFPOA), which became law on February 14, 1999. The CFPOA, and the Convention itself, are partly the result of U.S. efforts to see its trading partners establish anti corruption standards similar to those contained in its 1977 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and thus level the playing field for U.S. businesses in the international marketplace.

Ghazanfar, S. M. and Karen S. May. "Third World Corruption: A Brief Survey of the Issues."

Jordan, David C. Drug Politics: Dirty Money and Democracies. Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 1999.Call Number: HV 5801.J66 1999Abstract: The theory of supply-and-demand ignores or downplays the fact that the drug trade depends on state cooperation and compliance to sustain multibillion-dollar levels of illicit global commerce. This book exposes features of the globalization process that permit wealthy elites to operate outside accountable political processes and reveals how organized crime develops under political protection, becomes multiethnic and forges transnational alliances. The author argues that many national and international financial institutions are dependent on cash from money laundering and some governments are far more involved in protecting than in combating criminal cartels.

Rose-Ackerman, Susan. Corruption and Government: Causes, Consequences and Reform. New York: Cambridge University Press, 1999.Call Number: JF 1081.R675 1999Abstract: High levels of corruption limit investment and growth and lead to ineffective government. Developing countries are particularly at risk, but corruption is a worldwide phenomenon. It creates economic inefficiencies and inequities, but reforms are possible. Effective reform cannot occur unless both the international community and domestic political leaders support change. No single "blueprint" is possible, but the primary goal should be to reduce the gains from paying and receiving bribes, not simply to remove "bad apples@.

Swope, Ross. "Bad Apples or Bad Barrel?" Law and Order (January 2001): pp. 80-85.Abstract: Police officers do not enter the profession as an opportunity to steal, extort or accept bribes.

Thompson, David. "Above the Law?" Law and Order (January 2001): pp. 77-79.Abstract: The perception of police officers that they are not constrained by traditional moral values and that they need not adhere to the law creates confusion and leaves them searching for appropriate boundaries. Officers need to know the limitations on their behavior, and they need to recognize the intrinsic priorities of their organizations. If law enforcement officers believe they are above the law, then this subverts the very essence of law enforcement and criminal justice in our society.

Trautman, Neal. "How Organizations Become Corrupt." Law and Order (May 2000): pp. 65-68.Abstract: Few events are more devastating to an organization than a scandal.
